matt76 said:Why would you have chosen France? Old, dated, out of sync country who could only cirticise London instead of worrying about themselves!! We will be creating a new dream for generations to come. All the french did was show off about their (admitedly) great history. the Olympic games are about creating new opportunities and developments for the future.

I don't care about politics, I just like the city of Paris more than the city of London...as a destination.

And Chirac has a pop at our food!!!!

I love London as a city... the only thing that annoyed me was David Beckham celebrating... beware for our Argentine revenge in next year's World Cup
